Not making any progress

I'm really depressed right now and I think I need help...but I don't know where to start.

What are you supposed to do when your positive energy just runs out?

I've been sick in bed for about 4 days now, and I was feeling lethargic and depressed. I've been watching youtube videos all this time and I came across something that really changed my mood. I want to share this with you, because for me it was so powerful that it completely gave me energy and positiveness:
YouTube - Messages From The Light Part 1

There are about 12 videos in total, so it takes a while to view all of them. It's about a man that was pretty much depressed all his life, and after a near death experience his life changed around. I don't know if you believe in that sort of things, but if you're on this forum I think you're pretty open minded.

Good luck, I hope you feel better...Please write back and let us know you're OK. Love and happiness to you!

You could start by telling the thread what you are depressed about, so we can know what to advice you. If you walk into a tanning salon vs a supermarket, they both cant offer you the same thing

What were you positive about? When did it run out?
Are you purposeful? Do you have something compelling to look forward to?

I'm really missing something inside of me... I don't know what, I need help finding out what is wrong with me.

I keep thinking i know but i really don't know, i'm just going in circles and it brings me right back here.

I need help expressing myself, right now I just can't. It's very fustrating.
I feel so trapped, that's where it is originating. I can't get out of it.

Someone please say something, I need to go to sleep soon and I'm afraid that I'll be attacked or something since I'm in this negative mood...

If you are missing something inside of yourself, why not ask yourself questions? The best method I find is just grab a pen and paper and start asking questions then answer them.

The good news, is that nothing is ever missing from yourself. More likely it is being blocked by you, for some reason you have yet to discover.

Have you heard of the inner child concept? Perhaps speaking to your inner child can help. When I feel depressed, trapped and just in a down mood, I will speak to my inner child.

I really swear by this concept. I cannot tell you how many times I have felt better by expressing the pain of the inner child. To feel pain is difficult and obviously uncomfortable but its definitely healing to release the pain.

Desmond. You might want to see a doctor about this.

My two cents:
Can you clarify what is stopping you from expressing yourself and why expressing yourself is important?

My advice is to come back into your body, not live only in your mind. If you had a strong connection with your body, it would become clear that whatever you "lack", what you actually lack is energy. Energy can transform itself in any human manifestation - proactivity, ambition, desire, confidence, love. But when you are depleted of energy, you only feel the need to rest and recharge. However, when people are not in touch with their body, they don't realize that they need rest. They believe there is something else not right. There is nothing - no emotion - that cannot be explained by an energetic imbalance. That is why a good acupuncturist can cure a broken heart, a feeling of void inside or the feeling of not being really in this world. Especially for those feelings that are so hard to tackle with conventional psychology and self analysis, balancing your body can do wonders.

My advice is to practice meditation to focus your mind and therefore, spend less energy worrying, and to practice some form of energy work such as Qigong and Tai Chi, to begin recharging your body with energy. Flexibility exercises are good too, because they release the tension in the body and allow you to be more flexible, both physically and mentally. When the energy can move freely in your body - you will feel more like moving on with your life and your plans as well.
